STAND FOR ROLLED GOODS.

Application filed November 6, 1919.

To all whom it may concern: 1 i i Be it known that I, EDWARD A. LUZEN- BERG, a citizen of the UnitedStates,'residing at San Antonio, in the county of Bexar and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stands for Rolled Goods, ofwhichthe following is a specification. 3 I

The invention relates to means fo'rfacilitating the handling of textiles L and like goods usually rolled for convenience ofstorage and manipulation. Duck, canvas, l noleum, carpets and like fabric are generall rolled or bolted when placed upon the'market and are unwound from the roll or bolt as required for use. When the rolls are heavy and bulky they cannot be easily handled by one person. i

Thepresent invention provides a stand for supporting the roll of fabric in upright position and which admits of the goods being unrolled as required with ease and any surplus amount being rewound so as not t be in the way. a

The drawings illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention. However. it is to be understood that in adapting the same to meet different conditions, various changes may be resorted towithout departing from the nature of the invention. n L

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front viewof a stand ein- Fig.2 1s a horizontal section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 looking upwardlyas indicated by the arrows.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 3 3ofF-ig.1. I a Fig. at is a sectional detail on the line 44 of Fig. 8, the parts being illustrated on an enlarged scale.

Fig. 5: is a horizontal section on the line 5-5 of Fig.1, theparts of which are like wise illustrated on an enlarged scale.

Fig. 6 is a sectional. detail on the line an enlarged scale.

i Corresponding andlike parts are referred to in the following 'description and 'l IlCll cated in the several views of the: drawings by like reference characters.

The stand comprises a telescoping frame.

and a telescopingxshaft whereby it may be.

adaptedto rolls of goods of different widths. While the stand may be disposed in any. relatlve position it is. particularly constructed for use in upright position so as to economize space and enablethe goods to be handled with comparative ease and convenience. The main frame. comprises a base 1, up rights 2 and cross pieces 3 connecting the uprights at their upper ends.- The basel q has an extension 4 which is adapted to support the extensible shaft.

anneled .or grooved to ,form ways in which theauxiliary frame is mounted for sliding movement. comprises uprights 5, lower connecting pieces 6, upper connecting pieces 7 and ;a top or cap plate 8to which the upper ends of the uprights 5 are connected in any substantial waya The auxiliary frame 5 has telescoping connection with the main frame .to admittofadapting thestand to rolls of different lengths. Binding screws 9 threaded into the uprights 2 admit of securingthe inner end to the top or cap plate 8 and is tensible shaft. Thearm 10 is hinged so as The. uprights 2 The auxiliary frame? auniliary frame in the required adjusted pos1t1on,an arm 10 ishingedly connected at its toswing downward and is'supported in hori-;

zontal position by means of a brace 11 which is connected at its ends'to the arm 10 and part 8. A notch 12 is formed in an edge of the arm 10 and receives the upper portion of the extensible shaft. Alatch 13 pivoted at one end to the arm 10 is adapted to extend across the notch 10 and retain the extensible shaft'in position.

A block 14 of circular form is secured centrally to the upper side of the base 1% and is provided. on its upper side'with a disk 15and a ring 16. A pin 17 projects vertically :frornthe, block 14 and constitutes an axis'to receive. the lower end of the roll. or bolt of'goods-when placed inposition upon thfstand. 'A plurality of casters l8is mounted upon the base 1 equidistant from the pin 17 and supportsa table .19which receives the-roll or bolt of goods. Itis preferred to construct thetable .19 ofwood in layersiand to have the layers arran ed so that the ain or one la er crosses the grain of the other. A metal plate 20 is 'ESGCUI'ECl to the-upper side of thetableand with a block 26 which A metal ring 28 is secured to the top 'f'ram'eis provided centrally with a spindle 22 which corresponds to the pin 17 and is adapted to engage the upper end of the roll or belt of goods. Thespindle 22 isjour- :naled in the part 8 and is provided at its uppe'rend witha crank 23. A head 24 is secured to the spindle '22 and is adapted to engage the upper end of the roll or bolt of :goods. A'plu-rality of pins 25 project from the head 24 in parallel relation to one another and to the spindle and are adapted to enter the roll so that the latter may be turned when the spindle 22 is rotated by means of the crank handle 23.

The extension 4 of the base 1 is provided is centrally *apertured "to receiv'e' the' lower end of-the extensible shaft. A wear plate 27 is disposed between the block 26 and extension 4 and the lower end of the extensible shaft rests thereon. side of the block 26. A rotary table 29 similar in construction to the rotary table 19 is mountedupon the -block 26-and is centrally apertured to receive the lower endoftheextensiblesh'aft. A metalpl'ate 30 and ring 28 are secured to "the lower side of the table29. The metal ring 28 is adapted to revolubly engage the metal ring 28. The extensible shaft 31 maybe of any construction to admit of its lengthening and shortening to adapt itself to the adjustment of the stand according-to the length of the roll to be supported'thereby. A crank handle 32 isprovided at the upper end of the extensible shaft for rotating the same 'to admit of the goodsbeing wound on the shaft when required. A clip 33 at one 'side of the extensible shaft engages the upper edge portion of the goods and ita ln's the same-in position :130 cause the winding of the goods on the shaft when'the latter is 'rotaited. The lower end of the shaft passes through an opening 34 formed centrally in the table 29 and enters the opening formed in the block 26 "thereby retaining the 'Itable 29 in position.

' {readily placed in position or disconnected from the arm 10 and latch 13.

The upper Eportio'nqof the shaft may be by reason "of the notch 12 V The goods in the form 'offa roll or boltis adapted to 'be "supported by the standby being placed upon the table 19 with the pin :17 extending upwardly into-the cent-er j of p frame is 'adjusted so that the sp1ndle"22 enters the upper end of the roll together with the pins 25. After the frame ter may be detached changes in the construction,

centrally through "mounted in said cap plate,

has been adjusted to the length of the roll, the telescoping parts or auxiliary frame is made secure by means of the fastenings 9. When it isrequired to obtain a length of the goods the loose end is grasped and pulled So as to unwind the required amount from the roll. \Vhen unwinding the goods from the roll the extensible shaft 81 may serve as a guide. After the desired'amount of goods has been obtained and cut from the roll any surplus amount may be readily rewound upon the roll. The length of goods out from the roll may be rewound by using the shaft 31 as a core and after such goods has been formed into a roll thelatdrawing the upper section of the shaft 31 upwardly, and subsequently lifting the roll from the table 29 after which the lower section of the shaft may be withdrawn from the roll and replaced in the stand.

The foregoing description and accompanying drawings have reference to what might be considered to be the approved or preferred form of my invention. I desire it to be understood that I maymake such combination and arrangement of parts, materials, dimensions, et cetera, as may proveexpedient and fall withinthe scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter. 7-

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and-desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v 1. A stand for supporting a roll of goods comprising a base, uprights projecting from the base, other uprights having sliding engagement with the upri 'htsof the base a cap plate connecting the adjustableuprights, a rotary table mounted upon the said base,- a
